My first Roo LN was Friday starting with Pretty Lights. I was conflicting with myself (since I went solo) over whether I should stay at Pretty Lights (who was a little late) or go see Animal Collective. About 5 or ten minutes before Pretty Lights started, some really nice girl and guy start talking to me. They told me they were from the band Futrurebirds or something like that and that I definitely shouldn't be at Pretty Lights. The girl really insisted on going to AnCo and she said she'd go with me. On our way she convinced me to see the Futurebirds show at noon the next day but on the way to AnCo we got broken up and I never saw her again. Animal Collective was the best Roo decision of the weekend and I thank her for that. I feel really bad though because I totally forgot about promising to see the Futurebirds show until Saturday night.

Can't remember if it was 2012 or 2013 but I was walking to the What Stage from the campgrounds for either Phish or Tom Petty and we're walking down the main vein to the arch, just a sea of people swarming into Centeroo when I see this old head, had to be 40 or 50, mega hippy looking dude standing off to the side by what I assume was his campsite and with him is a quacking live chicken. I shit you not this man had a fully grown live chicken he brought with him to Bonnaroo. I stopped and talked for a few minutes and petted the chicken. He said he could tell it to stay and he'd go into Centeroo and come back and the chicken would be no more than 20 feet from his tent. I remember while I was talking to him some staff/safety crew drove by on a golf cart, saw it out of the corner of their eye, stopped and double took to verify what the hell they just saw and then just kept driving while laughing their asses off. Plenty of passerbys did the same hahaha.

Think it was last year, possibly 2012, but there were these two elderly women, 75+ I'd say, and they were just walking around through the crowds like any of us whipper snappers. Seemed like they were having just as good a time as anyone else. I don't know if thats considered crazy or not but seemed like a good fit here.

This was a bit of a weird thing that happened to me in 2012.

I had lost my group and I ended up walking around seeing some shows by myself for the last half of Saturday. I was around That Tent when 3 or 4 hippy-looking characters surrounded me by a tree. I was pretty nervous because they weren't saying anything, but they were just staring at me. Slowly, what looked like the leader of the pack leaned into me and said, "It's pretty hot out... are you staying 'cool' (He said cool super sarcastically for whatever reason)?" So, hesitantly I said, "Yeah, I'm a bit hot." Then one of the other people in the group went into the main guy's backpack and he squashed a water balloon on my face filled with really cold water. The leader then said, "That should help." and then the group walked away. It really was quite refreshing and it wasn't a bad experience, it was just one of those weird things that I can only imagine happening at Bonnaroo.

Me and my friends were at Radiohead two years ago. During lotus flower a big group of us walked to the very back of the field to piss on the wall because we didn't wanna wait in line. While we're standing there pissing I look over and saw a heftier woman with her pants down squatting and just thought to myself "oh she didn't wanna wait just like us" and then all of a sudden I heard a fart and this woman was over there falling all over herself shitting her brains out. I just turned and kept peeing and none of us said a word. When we walked away I said " was that girl taking a shit?" And we all just busted out laughing.

I was dressed up as Robin that night and during Major Lazer I got hot and took off my costume and was in my white swimming trunks. I needed some air for a minute so I stepped out and went to the bathroom. Fighting to get through the huge crowd to get back to my friends, this random girl just starts grinding on me. I was a little messed up and wasn't sure where my friends were so I started to panic and managed to get away from her. I found my friends and enjoyed the rest of the show. As we are walking back to camp my friend looks at my shorts and says "Dude are you okay what the hell is all over your shorts?" I panic because I tried some shit I had never done before that night and thought I was bleeding out of my crotch from it. So i whip it out and start pissing all over my shoe to see if I am peeing blood (Seemed like a good idea at the time). There was nothing. I then remembered the chick who started grinding on me. I had a straight Super bad moment. Didn't live that down the rest of the weekend.

I saw a guy munching some gals box outside of fun. During an afternoon show in 2012 they were pretty close to the Porto johns ..I hit my buddy and asked him "am I seeing what I think I am, is that guy munching some Sunday bonnaroo box?" He confirmed and apparently I said it loud enough where most people around us started to notice and a woman came up and stopped the two followed by boos towards her and a applause to the couple. Pretty darn funny. Also bravest guy ever lol

I just threw up in my mouth a bit. And that's coming from a woman.

Anyway, my crazy but just kind of sad moment for 2012 and 2013 was seeing this guy roaming around, spun out of his mind. He was always alone both years and just seemed lost.
